Our Take

Ornette Coleman's "Something Else" brings a whirlwind of avant-garde jazz that is as bold and unpredictable as the man himself. From the first notes of "Invisible", you are transported into Coleman's unorthodox sonic universe, where traditional structures are thrown out the window in favour of free-form improvisation.

The album is a cacophony of saxophone squalls, frenetic drumming, and unpredictable changes in tempo that will leave you both exhilarated and bewildered. Tracks like "The Blessing" and "Jayne" showcase Coleman's ability to blur the lines between melody and chaos, creating an atmosphere that is both unsettling and captivating.

Despite its dissonant nature, "Something Else" is not without moments of beauty. Ballads like "Chippie" and "Focus on Sanity" provide a welcome respite from the album's more tumultuous moments, showcasing Coleman's lyrical prowess and emotional depth.

In conclusion, "Something Else" is a challenging yet rewarding listen that pushes the boundaries of jazz and leaves a lasting impression. If you're looking for something a little different to shake up your music collection, Ornette Coleman's "Something Else" is definitely worth a listen. Just be prepared to have your musical sensibilities put to the test.
